Sorry forgot the link. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/community/school-year-2021-2022/Community-Update-20211230.html?fbclid=IwAR118Vz36k1BR001aCDS2AoNPXKtilNwk28Z5bwV1d8N3c6mZBpDfYxmn1o

Why isn't this published anywhere but on this site? Did it go out in an email? It's on on the MPCS website. When is the plan to send out to the public?[/quote]
Shut down sports now. This is a no-brainer, as is reducing the isolation/quarantine time to five days. In all likelihood, several high schools will meet the 5% criterion by 1/17—the end of the 14-day window that begins on 1/3—which is one week before the end of the semester. Not a great time to revert to virtual learning, which will likely happen at that point. This assumes, of course, that high schools have enough teaching staff to keep classes going, which is a big assumption when it comes to Omicron and taking into account travel, NY Eve parties, kids working jobs during break, you name it. Brace yourselves, this is going to be a wild ride (aka major disruption) during the month of January. This is a perfect example of designing policies around the last crisis (keeping schools remote far too long when it wasn’t justified) rather than the present reality (the wickedly fast and unforgiving rate of Omicron transmission).
